RESUMO
Os autores fazem uma breve revisão de literatura sobre o uso coad-juvante de stents na arterite de Takayasu e apresentam um relato de caso de uma mulher jovem, 27 anos de idade, com quadro de cefaléia holocraniana acompanhada de náuseas, síncopes e tonturas. Concomitantemente apresentou turvação visual e claudicação de membros superiores. Entre as várias possibilidades, aventou-se a hipótese diagnóstica de arterite de Takayasu, confirmada posteriormente, sendo então realizado tratamento coadjuvante através de angioplastia transluminal percutânea com stents.
